Alumni and Friends
Wherever life has taken you, you remain an essential part of the Vol Nurse family. Our alumni and friends help strengthen our mission, open doors for students, and create lasting impact in communities across our state and beyond.
Giving
UT Foundation
UT raises funds through the University of Tennessee Foundation, an independent nonprofit corporation that seeks to enrich the lives of UT students, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends through alumni engagement, financial stewardship, and private investments. The Foundation is the preferred channel for all private contributions benefiting faculty and students at the University of Tennessee System.
Invest
The Office of Advancement at Nursing exists to connect alumni, friends, and corporate partners with meaningful philanthropic opportunities in the college. Your generous gifts reduce the college’s dependence on tuition revenues, provide a predictable source of income, enable the development of innovative programs, and help bring to life the Big Ideas of our exceptional students and faculty. No gift is too small to help us educate and empower Vol Nurses.
Hire
Post a Job or Internship
The University of Tennessee’s Handshake platform is a great way to gain access to undergraduate talent by searching resumes and posting jobs and Internships. Career fair registrations are also completed via Handshake.
Mentor
First step, Connect!
We use the Connect UT platform to identify industry professionals as needs arise. Students can also find you and reach out for informational interviews.
Various, short-term opportunities are available in the College throughout the year. Expressing your interest in mentoring on ConnectUT allows us to share these opportunities with you as they come available.
